Excellent list of Portable USB software
For people that work between multiple computers (say a home office and a corporate office) or want the security of leaving less of a footprint on a computer, you can install a variety of software packages on a USB drive. Great list!
The Fog
The game of life is hard to play
I’m going to lose it anyway
The losing card I’ll someday lay
So this is all I have to say
The only way to win is cheat
And lay it down before I’m beat
And to another give a seat
For that’s the only painless feat
What do you use for time tracking?
I have used Quickbooks Pro’s timer before but mostly I use Allnetic’s Timetracker. I would prefer something decent for my PDA (palmos) but I have strayed from carrying it around and the last time I looked the available time trackers were inadequate. I need something I can wear on my wrist that autosyncs with the nearest computer via bluetooth. That way I can bounce from computer to computer and enter time tracking data from the keyboard (but the device still needs to accept entry from the wrist).

Lost’s Biggest Mystery
In February we learn ‘why is Hurley still fat?’ after 50 days on the island!
In an e-mail, co-creator/executive producer Damon Lindelof and executive producer Carlton Cuse gave this teasing reply:”Hurley’s inability to lose any significant weight, like many other things on the island, is shrouded in mystery. That mystery, however, will be definitively solved during February sweeps… well, as definitively as anything ever gets solved on ‘Lost,’ anyway.”
The right way to do a video blog
Know thy Amanda! I believe everyone’s introduction to Rocketboom should be the Sept 27, 2005 episode. That’s my personal favorite episode and the day I started watching.
Rocketboom is a three minute daily videoblog based in New York City. We cover and create a wide range of information and commentary from top news stories to quirky internet culture. Agenda includes releasing each new clip at 9am EST, Monday through Friday. With a heavy emphasis on international arts, technology and weblog drama, Rocketboom is presented via online video and widely distributed through RSS.
I give this program a high recommendation! I read in the comments that Amanda Congdon actually interviewed for the partnership position.
In February Amanda will play herself on CSI! She is graced with her own wikipedia entry. Their show went from a 700 person viewership in 2004 to 70,000 in just 10 months! For the true fans, she also has a blog.
Lost Theory
I didn’t see real spoilers in this theory but it certainly is thought provoking. The author substantiates his theory about the Lost island with information that can be confirmed through Google.
UPDATE: Apparently Digg picked up on this one and the server is temporarily down.
Wednesdays, my favorite worst day
Wednesdays are Lost
Work is Lost to the children’s needs
Lost as a taxi service
Preschool, preschool, high school, STAR
Time Lost to the kids is precious
On Wednesdays I am in paradise, Lost
In the island of my mind, I am Lost
Lost in self-flagellation and meditation
I so look forward to Wednesdays
My favorite times have always been Lost times
I would not trade my Lost Wednesdays for anything
Best of all, Wednesdays end with Lost
“I can’t do this all on my own. No, I know, I’m no Superman!“
Of Waking and Cool Numbers
I woke around 1:00am again and was excited that I would be getting more work done while everyone slept. The next time I opened my eyes it was 4:44am. I was so mad that I had allowed myself to drift off that I lay in bed punishing myself then I opened my eyes at 6:37am.
I love it when all the numbers on the clock are the same. Often I wake at 4:44 or 3:33 and so on. I always find it amusing, and although it is a coincidence, I can’t help thinking that my biological clock is somehow tuned to these numbers.
